Hero

Little girl, only 17 years old
 Life just got in the way, don't know what to say
 She's heard it all before, lying on her bedroom floor
 Thinking, "My life has to be worth more"
 She dreams of going to New York City
 Her heart's already there but her head's fighting a wall
 Little girl, only 17 years old
 Looking for a star but it's just too dark
 When streams get a little bit wider
 And it's hard to swim across the water
 And the scars get a little bit deeper
 And a flame turns into a fire
 Tonight when you need a way out
 Someone to lean on, some kind of hero
 He's there when you look in the mirror
 Staring back at ya
 There's a hero in
 You, you, you
 There's a hero in you
 You, you
 There's a hero in you
 Old man tryna make it on his own
 Looking at the space where his wife once was
 Wants to find there something to believe in
 He hears a knock at the door this evening
 She says, "I'm going to New York City to follow my dreams
 Would you come with me?"
 Little girl, only 17 years old
 Looking at the stars in her grandad's eyes
 And the streams get a little bit wider
 But together they cross the river
 And the scars get a little bit lighter
 And the sky looks a little brighter
 Tonight when you need a way out
 Someone to lean on, some kind of hero
 He's there when you look in the mirror
 Staring back at ya
 There's a hero in
 You, you, you
 There's a hero in you
 You, you
 There's a hero in you
 (You, you)
